Jamie started First Grade! Her teacher is the sweetest and we loved getting to meet her on "Meet the Teacher Night". Jamie is so happy to be back in school again!
First Day of School Pic
In case you're wondering why Jamie's class is in front of a sign like this, there is a mural in Austin that says, "I love you so much" and tons of people like to take pictures in front of it.

Fifth Day of School!
We decided to take advantage of the long weekend after the first week of school and take a trip to Dallas to visit Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma Millie. The kids were pretty good on the road, though we wish Ryan would have slept more!
We went to this awesome mini-water park about 5 minutes from Grandpa Daniel's house and everyone had such a great time!
April and Daddy.

Me and Jamie. I was so proud of the girls because they conquered their fears and went down the big green slide!
Once they went down it was hard to tell them to stop!
That same day we went out to eat at this great pizza and pasta place close to Grandma Cynthia's house. There was a man playing the piano there and Jamie went up and told him, "Your voice is amazing!"
After dinner, we walked around the canal and kept our eyes open for ducks. I love this shot I got of the kids!
Ben and his mom.
We went to church with Grandma Cynthia on Sunday and everyone looked so great, I had to take a few pics!

This was the best family pic out of the bunch. Not quite sure what April's doing with her hand. We had a great time in Dallas and loved getting to visit with Grandma Millie on Sunday! (We didn't take any pics with her this time though).
April started going to our church Preschool Co-op group this week! She was so incredibly excited to go!
Love this pic!
She learned about the letter 'D' and dinosaurs. She is still singing the song she learned! April is so happy to be going to Preschool, even if it's only once a week. I am so grateful to my friend in the ward who got it all organized and going!
